Weathertech Bumper
Hey guys - for those who live in congested areas, such as the NYC area: has anyone considered a weathertech bumper step? I am about to buy one but wondering if anyone has bought it before, and if not, it's probably a good one for you guys to explore it.

That's a great find - I'm impressed. The weathertech one actually provides protection from bumps and rear end accidents, which is more of my reason to get it: i.e., protection from NYC traffic.

If I'm not mistaken, the weathertech one is a lot smaller. I think this gives you better protection bc its wider and it has 3 holes so you can have it stick out 3 inches beyond the bumper if you want.

you're right, it's shorter. However, do you think the ability to be flexible may give better protection? See https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...85761416,d.aWw

looks like it works great but seems to be very small width wise. It gives you protection for 10 inches of bumper maybe. Flexibility is not a issue since all the forces will be absorbed by the hitch.
